Mariners outfielder Julio Rodríguez is awaiting results on x-rays after getting hit on the hand by a 97 MPH fastball Saturday night. He played most of the rest of the game, but exited in the ninth inning to get tests done to see if there is any damage.
Seattle ultimately defeated the Astros when Abraham Toro, who pinch-hit for Rodríguez in the final inning, hit a two-run single off Ryan Pressly to give Seattle a 5-4 lead.
After the game, manager Scott Servais said the team is hoping nothing is broken in Rodríguez’s right hand.
